It’s not even the 1997 version, this is the blu ray.

Can you describe to us what things that stood out in the screening that would make you think that it was the Blu Ray cut that projected?

Cthulhunicron said:

So yeah, I drove an hour today to get to the theater, only to discover they’re showing the 1997 version. Disappointing, but not terribly unexpected.

Are you saying that you didn’t read the July 5th post on this thread that told you that the '97 version was the one that the Fox Theatre was screening?

Thanks a lot for that source, @Laserschwert.

@Laserschwert,

May I ask you to give a link on where you got this info from?

Why Criterion?

You haven’t said how have you seen this movie—on a laptop, smartphone, a small TV screen, tablet?

If that is how you watched it, I don’t blame you for not getting into. Most of the special effects in it deserves to be seen on a larger canvas.

I’m a Gen X’er and the first time I’ve seen this movie was on the big screen at the time that it came out. Being that it was my first Star Wars film, I totally enjoyed the Han and Leia bickering, 3PO’s prissiness, the running gag on the Falcon’s mishaps, and the music score. The more I watched it, the more discoveries I’ve made.

However, I totally understand why you would feel indifferent about a movie where many people you know praised it. I have that same feeling with “Do The Right Thing.” I saw it once, I hated it, and I never saw it again, despite the honors the film got over the years.

On the other hand, I saw “Alien 3” on the big-screen and I didn’t like it because I expected to be at the level of “Aliens.” But, because I liked the Elliot Goldenthal music score, I saw the film again a few years later and, somehow, I enjoyed the film’s “killing its victims, one-by-one” approach, like in the first “Alien” film.

So, I wouldn’t worry about you’re not liking ESB. My advice is to take a long break from this movie and let it disappear from your memory.

If this “your-not-liking-ESB-but-others-do” thing still bothers you, then schedule a time to watch the film, once more. This time, take some friends along, and go to a theatre to see it on a big-screen, preferably from a film print. If that is not option, then find a concert venue where the film is shown while a large orchestra performs the music score on stage. Maybe with all the scenery being enlarged, and with high fidelity sound, the film can finally speak to you.

Would you make the trip to that theatre, not knowing whether the theatre will show the '77 version or not, for a chance to win a 4-Disc, Blu Ray, DVD Combo of SW:TFA 3D?

…the folks at the Friends of the Fox Movie Classics Series are working very hard to have one of the closest possible to the original 1977 release presented there…

We’re going to find the closet thing we can to the original Star Wars from 1977 and that’s what we’ll show on this very special occasion. Star Wars. Episode IV. A New Hope.

That doesn’t sound like the Fox Theatre has the 1977 version, yet.

So I take this with a grain of salt.

No, you are not blind and you should be skeptical.

Morphzero said:

Is there going to be a Grindhouse release of this?

I second that.

The Gen X’ers and Millennials, here, first saw the TPM on the big screen via 35mm prints. Despite the film’s short-comings—for me, it was the lack of humor…JarJar’s comic relief wasn’t enough—seeing those random flashes of dust-marks, and reel-change cue marks on TPM, would bring me back to a happier time at the movies.

SomethingStarWarsRelated said:

What does it mean when music is “tracked”? Because, apparently there was a lot of it in this movie. I know chunks of TPM were used. And I know pieces of the actual soundtrack were not used.

Actually, the meaning that ‘tracking’ references is the practice of using music that is not written exclusively for the film that is being worked on. It can be music from other films, classical or contemporary music that has been released commercially (the film, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ is a good example), or even pop music–old and new.

There was a separate release of the AOTC soundtrack CD with one bonus track, "On The Conveyor Belt," that was sold exclusively by the store-chain, Target.

Yes, may I have the link for this music, please?

Anyhow, moving on…

What is the process of this 35mm scan?

Does the audio have audience reactions–cheers, laughs, applause?

ZigZig said:
I have the chance to use a forthcoming 4K format scan of the original 35mm

ZigZig said:
…a Kodak 2382 lowfade in very good condition.

Perhaps it is too early to answer this, but will there be a grindhouse release–with skip-frames, random dirt-spots, and reel-change cue marks?

A Live-to-Projection concert program of The Last Jedi has just been announced.

After fighting with doing some correction by hand, I got to thinking more and more about Dr. Dre’s color tool, so I finally got up the courage to ask him for a copy, and then went and watched Williarob’s tutorial on how to use it. Around this point, Williarob sent me the Prores files for the Grindhouse project so that I can make adjustments reel by reel and work from the original source. In order to use Dr. Dre’s tool, I needed to match frames of the Grindhouse reels to identical frames from another source. I had two sources to work from, Adywan’s 1080p 1997 SE version, and Harmy’s version. I specifically looked for places where both Harmy’s and Adywan’s were as close as possible for the first pass “reel” correction of each reel. As an example, the shot I chose for Reel1 was this one:

One of our former members, Jetrell Fo, has acquired the CD-ROM Cinema DTS discs of all the Star Wars films, I-VI, and has shared them to the community.

I’ve acquired them through via download from the usenet circuit in the form of an ISO disc image.

Hi, friend, can you send me a PM to download these audio tracks for ESB Renegade Grindhouse v1?
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

You would be better-off seeking-out Dreamaster’s color regarded “Renegade Grindhouse”

Among the things that Dreamaster has done to the “Grindhouse” print, he has GOUT-sync’d it, so, that you can mux the audio tracks from the ESB-Despecialized edition to the 35mm release print-scan with no out-of-sync issues.

arnautovic said:

Hi,
Could you pass me these castillian audio tracks to synchronize with return of the jedi 4k83?
Thanks.

If you have the Despecialized edition of ROTJ, use the castillian audio tracks from that to mux with the 4K83.

Why don’t you use the 1080p version of 4K83, which is out there, to burn to a blank Blu Ray disc instead of the using the full-4K version to downconvert to 1080p to burn to a blank Blu Ray disc?

I still have that one ticket to give away—for free—and not one member has PM’d me.

The thought occurred to me that members may feel uncomfortable PM’ing me their real names just to let me know that they’re interested in the ticket.

How about this: Just PM me that you’re interested, but don’t give me your outside name. When I PM back to the first interested person, I will, then, ask for that person’s first and last name and e-mail address, as it appears in the person’s Ticketmaster account, so, that I can do the transfer of ownership. This way, I only have one person’s real name and not several.

Will that work?
